Adventures Of A Black Hole
It’s about time a musician wrote a song about the plight of rich men north of Richmond. We’re all tired by now of these country artists going viral with their poor-me songs about normal, everyday Americans. Luckily, Remy has come to bat with the counter-message, and Redstate calls it “comedy gold!” Continue reading “Remy: Rich Men North of Richmond (Federal Employee Version)”

Like A Top
Love From a Distance
Burnt Bridge
Like a Top – Mark Urso
She still spins around!
Like she’s gonna be comin’ off the ground

Can’t stop can’t flop can’t drop be bop
She goes ’round like a wheel
Spinnin’ like the world is on her heel Continue reading “Three Originals by Mark”

This is what it sounds like when Brandon Raimondo and I play together. It happens often! This is totally ad-libbed. You’ll see Brandon at the beginning, then I just put the camera on my guitar and left it …
Brandon has great instincts, Continue reading “Jazzy Jam 02”

Recorded Thursday, July 28, 2022, Groton, CT
55-minute set. Unedited. Continue reading “Just Some Old Video Footage, Sugar Band, Esker Point, Groton, CT – Summer 2022”
I didn’t make this video, and don’t have much to say about it. It’s a funny video that focuses on a deadly issue. Comedy about illness.
That may sound bad, but it’s not.
As social creatures, humans listen gladly to jokes, and often derive meaning from them. It can be a way to really send home a message. This video, “It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Genocide,” is the modern version of a radio hit from the 60’s, the “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag,” which protested the war in Vietnam with lines like “Be the first one on the block to have your boy come home in a box!” Continue reading “It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Genocide”

As a pause in the seriousness of this week’s blog posts, here’s me playing guitar and singing an old Gladys Knight song, You’re the Best Thing (That Ever Happened To Me)!
Hope you enjoy! Continue reading “You’re The Best Thing!”
Two new songs – full set coming soon!
This is Sugar Band playing the annual Esker Point Beach concert in Groton, CT, with sand, kids, boats and dogs!
First up, a cover of Harry Styles’ popular “Watermelon Sugar.”

I guarantee this will be the most fun you have today! Esker Point Beach, courtesy of the City of Groton, and this year it didn’t rain and Rickie showed up in her pajamas!
It’s what’s known in the industry as pop star casual. I like it.
I thought …
This day couldn’t get better!
But as you’ll see, it did! Continue reading “Pop Star Casual Takes The Beach, Sugar at Esker Point, Groton, CT, 2022”
This review (w/video) of the EA-X4 Pro Carbon Fiber Acoustic Guitar is intended for people somewhat familiar with the instrument. Still, I’ll go over the basic functions and features for those just hearing about this new product. I receive no compensation for my review. I picked this guitar up a couple weeks ago. It arrived from a USA origin within 4 days in very good shape. I changed the strings to Thomastik 10s, but otherwise it’s out of the box, requiring no adjustment.
A full video review is below. Continue reading “Enya EA-X4 Pro Carbon Fiber Guitar”
An old favorite from Jules Shear.
